Mastering All Martial Paths

Child labor is legal

In his crib which was made of wooden floor and top, it was being held by a child that was none other than Ainz. Or so what his nickname here in this world was given by his mom.

Helpless as it seems, he started to play with words with his mouth for better pronunciation. Getting a round trip from left to right and right to left in his crib.

'The wheels of the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round, the wheels of the bus go round and round, all through the town...' Singing in his mind while circling the crib. He was from earth in the past and was reincarnated so he knew some songs from his motherland.

He can walk just fine without worries but it was all boring in that place for some time.

Having memorized the nooks and crannies in the room with walls made of wood. Some wooden chairs in the front of the crib and a horn of a reindeer were placed on the wall.

Seems like a normal room with a wooden table, placed with a lamp on top of it and it was lit to give radiance to the room. Webs on the edge of the ceiling seemed to laugh in his face. Adding up to Ainz's annoyance as he can't reach it and clean it himself.

Just as Ainz was starting to get bored, he called forth the system to talk to.

'System!? Are you there?'

Just as he called it, it appeared with a notification. Sounding in a female voice.

[Just to make the user not bored, I will give a task for the user to play]

[Goal: Turn around twenty times]

[Reward: +5% movement speed]

[The goal was nerfed to suit the user's capacity]

'Wohoho! This sure will be easy!'

He turned around three times and he can't help but feel dizzy currently. Making him laugh solitarily. His father saw him turn around inside his crib and then laughed very loud after he fell on its floor.

"Haha, he sure knows how to make himself happy." His father said to himself and then left their home.

Ainz was getting dizzy with more effort. Just turning around some more made him roll to the crib in great discomfort.

'Damn, this System is very hard on me. Even with my baby self can't find it easy to overcome this.'

Soon after, he stands up again as his dizziness faded. He forced himself to push the floor and leaned his arms to the top of the crib. Turning around again and fell his butt. Standing up and turning again until he succeeded.

'Yey! Success!'

[Reward for completion: +5% movement speed]

Upon seeing and hearing the System's notification, he felt a chill run down his spine. A chill of excitement and realizing how engaging it was to experience it in real-time. His reader instincts were leaping with joy right after he heard it.

Without wasting time, he soon tried the skill. He gathered mana and conjured the sword. Appearing like it was a cloud of dust that formed into a sword. Brimming with a cold aura that was seeping out of the sword but it was warm to the touch. Seen as smoke-like that was rising into the air. As soon as he made the sword, the system congratulated him.

[Another goal of the day]

[Goal: Swing the sword 100 times]

[Reward: +5% attack speed]

Just looking at it, Ainz stared at it like it was unbelievable. His mind was slow to process the info in his face. Being in a trance as he stared at it So much reward just from a swing of a sword. But soon after, his happiness turned to a lifeless stare and narrowed eyes after seeing the System's notification.

'But still, this is child labor! Imagining a two-year-old child swinging a sword in his crib? My parents will leap in great distress as they saw their child having a sword. I should be playing with toys right now.'

[You need to be exercising as soon as possible. Your sword is now weightless so just swing it for swing's sake. Or I will give you a negative status for a day?]

'Oh geez, sorry. I will start now. No need to struggle with your message," Ainz asked. Starting to swing the sword.

Just swinging for some time, Ainz felt that his arms and shoulders were now weary. Thinking of a plan to rest first for some time.

Just for a while, he rested on his bed and wiped his face full of sweat with his blanket. Sitting on his bed and then put his hands on his waist. Looking tired as he gasped air for a minute.

'I will surely make it to one hundred with this. But still, I am not sure what will happen to my future. Well, let's finish this as soon as possible.'

Ainz gets up and stands again. He swings his sword some more until it reached one hundred. Making his heart pump as he gets nearer and nearer to the completion of the goal.

[Reward for completion: +5% attack speed]

Ainz then almost leaped with his weary feet and legs. Seeing his mother arrive, he extinguished his sword which popped like a bubble into thin air.

"Hello, Ainz! Time to drink your milk!" she said then gave him a cup of milk. Still warm as he touched the cup made of clay. Sipping slowly as he filled his tummy which was hungry and his throat thirsty.
